Some asshole...

I visited an old NJ Stream I used to fish for the first time the other day in the freezing cold. I haven't fished in months because shit happens. So when the opportunity knocked, I put all of my warm shit in the car along with my fishing stuff and took the hour ride. I counted 5 people who had the same idea I had except for 1 thing. I was looking for solitude. So what do I do? I walk downstream for a while until I see only 1 guy about 3 football fields away and start nymphing. Now I don't like to brag but I banged out 6-7 decent 12 - 14" trout out of the few pools I fished. I was having a blast!

I'm having a great day but I notice this guy creeping up slowly; then he starts watching. I can feel what's going to happen because he see's that I'm catching fish and he's not. What happens next? The guy says hello then stands a pubic hair away from me and starts casting upstream right in front of me! What an asshole! I just packed up and left because I already had my fun but WTF happened to etiquette?

Anyway, I get home and see if maybe he's a friend of a friend on Facebook and I find him here!

I thought it was real at first too. Don’t be disheartened opening day at Saxton FAlls is just around the corner! Living The Dream ! Lol!
Mac’s the third guy from the left with his secret weapon , the red Devil spoon with each hook of the treble hook tipped with power bait and salmon eggs, he’ll have that
Stringer filled before noon! Lol!

If you see this guy, run for the hills or at least pretend you're not catching any fish near him.

I have a standard response to this type of intrusion. This was done to me again last year, while I was trying to show my son how to roll cast. We got up and left, but not before lobbing a bunch of huge boulders into the run we were just fishing. And quietly I told the guy that if he followed us, he'd be joining the rocks.

Re: Some asshole...

So I just got out of the clink. 6 days in county jail...
Imagine my surprise when DC posted this...
All the years of complaining about how much I fished and the money I spent...
And then, there it is, my wife's facebook page.
She was secretly fly fishing while she bitched at me for doing it...
So we got into it. One thing led to another...
Court next month.
Divorce court soon after that, I suppose.

DC, thanks for the head's up. I owe you one.
